I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 27

Sheri frown.

"Why is this animal being so complex to deal with? Sigh! Jaclyn, if you're here what, would you do in my place? I'm getting weary of this" Sheri thought to her self. After a while, she recalls her discovered cave she dearly misses her solitude and the pond.

"Alright, tomorrow I want to go back to my place," Sheri responded while picking up the prepared bowl of soup Hunter made.

While taking a sip she beheld Hunter and compliments his skill in cooking. Hunter smile and his tail wiggles enjoying the praise of his beloved.

Hunter was naturally delighted she agrees. But he didn't reveal it. In fact, the pendant is with him the whole time.

He saw the pendant the time that Klans was injured. It was a unique kind of stone, so he keeps it. When Sheri spoke about the pendant, he put in a small pouch and hangs it in his side of his waist to hide it from Sheri. He notices also that the moment he saw Sheri on the cave the pendant radiate warmth. Through that warmth he understands Sheri. It feels like all the words that Sheri speaks were somehow instantly registered in his mind.

Hunter agreed and take her back to her discovered cave. When Sheri and Hunter arrived the next day. They heard a commotion inside the cave. Sheri in no time leaped from his back and run toward where her tent is. She saw 5 men smashing her tent and eating her food. She was so angry. She started shouting furiously.

"Get your dirty paws off my stuff." Sheri angrily shouts while frantically grabbing her knife on her side of her waist.

All the men looked at their back and saw Sheri clutching a knife while Hunter starts growling fiercely at them.

The five men start subtly shifting into tigers and start preparing to fight.

Sheri's angry came to the point of explosion, she hated when her hard work is being trashed. One tiger launch at her, she willingly meets him on the midway, her strength can't compare to a tiger but she precisely knows every vital point to mutilate a tiger. She swiftly put the knife on his paw and wound him.

The other tiger also begins to viciously attack Hunter but Hunter instantly bites his neck killing him instantly. Sheri takes her gun at her back of her waist and starts aiming the injured tiger and shoots him on his forehead. The Tigers were alarmed when they saw two of their comrades were killed. Two of them wanted to slip away, but Hunter didn't let them.

Sheri supposed to aim the other tiger, but the wounded one out of nowhere struck her. Leading for her to lose the grip of her gun. Her clothes were ripped with his claw and injuring her but not deep. She grasps desperately her knife on her boots and starts jumping at the injured tiger.

"You think you can kill me? Think again." Sheri said and jab her knife on his neck and killed him. On the other side, Hunter killed the two men. He is a leader his strength is pared to that tiger leader.

Sheri was exhausted when the vicious fight is over.

She still for a moment to take it all in. All her life she never had the courage nor the strength to fight. Without the fancy martial arts that she merely learned in the first world and the body's intensive knowledge of combat, she would have been dead since day one in this chaotic world.

She wanted to stand up when she felt pain in her right arm and her left side of her waist. She slowly stands while cursing and grimacing in pain.

She examined Hunter and his no better than her. His licking, his shoulder, and his left paw is oozing with blood. She can perceive he was bitten savagely. He gradually transformed and holds the place where his injuries are.

Sheri went to the broken tent and gets the medicine. She walked toward Hunter and kneels down beside him.

"Let me." softly she said.

Hunter looked at her and allow her to do what she had to do.

She injects anesthesia and cleans it first with antiseptic and starts suturing his punctured wound. Hunter wasn't bothered about his injury. He had worse than this. When he's looking at how serious her face, his heart starts to beat fast. She looked up and froze when she saw Hunter's gaze. Slowly she looked at what she's working and ignored those gentle eyes of the man who were gazing at her tenderly.

"You're good," Sheri said and slowly stands up.

She went to her tent and gets the folding chair, unfolded and sits. Gently she removed her jacket and the only left is her sports bra. She slowly cleans her side wound and plasters them. She takes a shot of antibiotics and gives also some toward Hunter.

"You're unsafe here. You better stay with me in the village." Hunter said.

Sheri massaged her forehead. She felt this place is beautiful. But his right she needs to move out. The Tigers will soon find out what happened to their members.

She gathered all her belongings and deposits them in her traveling bag.

They went back to the village and when the people perceive they were injured some of them run and asked what happened. Hunter explains when they hear of what happened their reactions were unexplainable. It's either a good thing or it's a bad thing that they killed some tigers.

Sheri sits in the dining room while gawking at Hunter.

"You better make your men be ready. If I'm not mistaken, they will retaliate. The combat I introduced to them can kill a tiger even without shifting. The herbs for hallucination must be prepared and also the children and women must leave here. I advise the men should stay here beginning this day." Sheri seriously said toward Hunter.

Hunter agreed with Sheri and he ordered Klans to prepare. The coming hours Sheri was busy producing a powder of hallucination she's lucky she asked them in advance to dry the plants. The whole night all the men were preparing to build many snares in the surroundings of the village. The woman and children were also led out. They make sure they were untraceable.
